I did really think The Whirlwind would slow down when I moved up here, but I guess it's something that follows me wherever I go. Seems it has more to do with my choices than my situation. I really thought it had more to do with my situation.

This past week, my good friend Summer came up to spend time with us. It was so good to spend some quality time with her.

The week/weekend before, we spent in the cities. We slept at Joel's parents and we visited almost everyone in the world. Or at least a good chunk of our friends in the cities.

Tomorrow I am helping a friend with her garage sale ... and hoping to sell a good chunk of stuff. I sort of wish I could sell anything and start over with the bare minimum. WE HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF! I did do a resweep (remember I had my own garage sale less than a month ago) of Rosemary's toys and am getting rid of a large bin full of stuff.

We took advice from some of you and started trying to get Rosemary to poop in the baby potty. She was super excited about it and would sit on it for a half an hour or more. She never pooped, but at least she was trying.  But we forgot the baby potty at Joel's parents. Note to self: ask my mom to pick it up and bring it up here next week.

Next week Thursday - Saturday my mom and her friend are coming up here to stay. They want to spend Friday kayaking somewhere. Then they want to watch Rosemary so we can go out and do something fun. My birthday is coming up and our anniversary is the day after ... so I'm excited to do something in the name of those events. It has honestly been over a year since we have had a real, live date. That's just not right.

Rosemary is full-swing into being a 3-year-old. I was not prepared for this. I kept saying we skipped the terrible twos since the first 2 years of her life were so incredibly difficult. I figured maybe a collicky, sleepless baby just skipped the toddler tantrum/completely unreasonable stage. She is testing me on absolutely every level. When I put her in time-out she laughs at me. On the one hand, it's maddening and on the other hand, it's difficult not to laugh in return.

Have any of you read love and logic? The idea of reading another parenting book burns me out. I feel so tired of them. Some have been really helpful, but they just get tiring after awhile. The local ECFE teaches a class on Love and Logic and I'm considering it. At least I could read it over a 5-week structured setting in which I'm interacting with other adults.

Our vegetable garden is coming along. Things are really growing, but not a lot is ready to harvest yet. We harvested some absolutely delicious broccoli (I didn't even take 1 picture, it was just too mouthwatering to think about blogging about it) and some nasturtium, but the rest is sprouting/still growing. It's crazy. This Minnesota summer has been very stereo-typical Minnesota. Cold. Normally the stereo-type isn't so much the reality.

Ah well, I'm still hoping for a good harvest.

That's my sleepless-night random update of my life. How are you?

We got a pool for Rosemary. I don't know the dimensions, but it's a larger, rectangular, blow-up one. It's big enough for an adult to wade in. My question is ... how long can I keep the water in before it's gross? I'm not talking dirt, leaves, etc ... but bacteria-wise? I don't really want to treat it with any chemicals or anything.

Next question. Rosemary had a pretty bad cold about 3 weeks ago. She's all better now, seemingly. Except her voice is still different. I've never noticed such an obvious symptom with her and it makes me nervous that it's lasting so long. It's nasally and a little raspy. Would you be concerned?

Rosemary was painting with water colors and started saying, "Go away," every time I went near her. I finally told her that wasn't nice and she apologized without being prompted. She is having a lot of fun with those water colors.

The toilet is clogged. Really clogged. That kid has some monster bowel movements. It is currently overflowing onto the floor and it is disgusting. There is a plunger from the landlord, but it is a piece of crap (pun intended). I called Joel to find out where our plunger is, but he had to call me back. Ugh.

We are moved! The big moving day was Feb. 28, but we didn't get a big enough truck, so we couldn't fit everything into it. Fortunately, we are able to leave stuff in our old house for now. We went down last weekend (Rosemary and I stayed for 6 days) and got the rest of the stuff that was in the house. We'll have to rent another truck to move all that's in the garage. It's a low priority at the moment, since it is free storage and most of the stuff in the garage we won't use until summer.

The new place is starting to feel like home. It was really nice to come here after 6 days in the city. I wrote a little more about it over at my other blog.

I'm also trying to not covet the following bedding set for Rosemary's new room. We are fairly soon going to transition her from a toddler bed to a full bed. I wasn't even going to look at the pottery barn bedding, but I couldn't help it, the catalog just appeared in my mailbox ...

Rosemary had a touch of the flu ... or something today. Last night she woke me up puking. But if you know Rosemary, this is no sign that she is sick. The girl is a puker. I heard her drinking her water and heard her gag a little. So who knows if she puked because she was sick or what? But she definitely had something, she was very lethargic and just wanted to be held most of the day. I knew it would be over by the end of the day because Joel had the same thing earlier in the weekend.

And, wouldn't you know it, around 4pm like somebody switched a light, she was acting 100% better. Full of energy, wearing her ballerina dress, dancing to Christmas music.

I have been really thinking about our house selling. I feel like God is going to do some sort of miracle. This job in Crosby has been so good for Joel and everything about it feels so right ... except the fact that we're 2.5 hours away. In my heart of hearts I am ready to move to Crosby. Financially we just can't swing it right now. We could look into renting out our home, but we do not feel good about it just yet. We listed our house at a not-so-good time, and it doesn't make sense to take it off the market before things supposedly start picking up (I hear they pick up after Christmas).

However, I have been really thinking about it and just think it would be such an amazing way to glorify God through the sale of our house right now. I have decided (and I know you're not necessarily supposed to broadcast this stuff, but this is my journal and I just want to be open about it) to be good about praying and fasting and just believing that God will sell our house. My prayer is that papers would be signed before Christmas. Really, I know I'm not supposed to give God deadlines ... but I hope hope hope that in the next 3 weeks something happens. I don't care if they want 100 days before they close. I just want to know that our house is sold, we can start packing up, and not worry about showing our house any more. And I want to know that we are going to start living with Rosemary's daddy again soon.

So, those of you who pray. Please pray with me, will you?

Joel is super sick today. Hard to tell if it's food poisoning from something on Thanksgiving? Or if it's the flu. A few other people in his family are sick too, so who knows.

It's weird because we all got sick on the Friday after Thanksgiving last year. Fortunately this year it really seems to be only Joel who is sick. I do NOT want to get sick and am washing my hands raw.

Rosemary and I are going to my mom's house tonight for another Thanksgiving dinner. I assume Joel will just stay home ...

Should be fun.

I just joined a community called poor_skills. We are bah-roke right now. I hesitated to join the community because I would never call myself poor. Even though I have very little money right now, I am still rich in so many ways. But I joined because I need some help being frugal.

I've been out of town for a little while. I tried to catch up on posts, but it was NOT easy. I would love for all of you to comment and tell me a little about what's going on.

I am having minor surgery on my foot tomorrow. Hopefully it's no biggie, but they won't be able to tell me if I'll be able to walk afterward until AFTER the surgery.

I feel kind of bad for President Bush after watching this video:


Yes, he hasn't been the greatest president. But I feel bad that everything got blamed on him. Our government is a 3-tiered system and good 'ol pres. bush isn't responsible for everything crappy that's happened in the last 8 years. I think people like having a scapegoat and this video just made my heart a little sad for him.

Keeping our house in tip-top, maybe-somebody-will-want-to-see-our-house-and-buy-it shape has not been easy! Not to mention this week I am planning to go up to Brainerd (tomorrow) and offered to help watch a friends' 10 month-old baby on Monday and Tuesday. Last night I was nearly in tears. Our house is a dis.aster. I am tired and period-crabby (sorry, guys ...).

Joel called his mom and expressed concern that he's afraid I bit off more than I can chew and she kindly offered to watch Rosemary for a little while today. So, after she wakes up from a [hopefully] long nap, I'm going to send her over to Nana's house for the evening. Then I'll come back here and clean, clean, clean. My goal is to have most everything in the car (is that safe?) and then not have to do anything except eat breakfast and brush our teeth tomorrow morning. We will then head off to ECFE, and then up to Brainerd during Rosemary's naptime.

Speaking of ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education). We in Minnesota are so stinkin' blessed to have it. I cannot brag highly enough about the program. They ask you to pay according to your income, but they do not force anyone to pay. So they basically provide this great service for free. I get to go once a week with Rosemary, we play and do circle time together, do some activities with our children and then separate for parent-time and kid-time. That hour and a half of parent-time is pretty much my favorite time of the week. Somebody else is taking excellent care of my child while I get to sit and drink my tea (or coffee, if I'm in the mood), and chat with other like-minded parents. Well, we're not all like-minded - but I am blessed to live in an area with lots of other parents who think like me. Anyway, tangent aside. I love ECFE and totally think I am a better parent because of it. There is really something to collaborating with other parents and the highly experienced instructors there. I have gotten so many good ideas from ECFE and have never felt judged or uncomfortable. ECFE has pretty much solved Rosemary's sleeping issues and given me so many other good parenting ideas. I have learned so much about child development and seriously think I would have had much different expectations about what Rosemary can/should/can't/shouldn't do at her age.

Anyway, I am just sorry that it is a Minnesota thing and not a national thing, because I feel so blessed to have it.

So ... what are your kids going to be for Halloween?

Rosemary is a cute little mouse. We went to story time at the Red Balloon bookshop on Tuesday and kids were encouraged to wear their costumes. We met up with allthingswinter and her daughter, Winter. Rosemary loaned Winter the chicken costume she wore on her first Halloween.



Adorable.

Today we went to story time at the library (not the one in our neighborhood because there was a stabbing there yesterday) with our neighbors and all the kids wore their costumes.

Afterwards we went, with our neighbors, to the nearby McDonalds play land. I told Rosemary we were going to McDonalds and she started looking for a farm. I understand it's snobbery, but I was pretty glad that she didn't know what McDonalds was. Though, she had so much fun at the play land I am sure she will never forget.

Yesterday, today, and a couple days next week I am watching my 2 nephews: Gray, who is 2.5 and Wesley, who is 2 months. Yesterday was a little chaotic, but today is better ... I prepared a lot more today. I planned breakfast and lunch and got everything ready, etc.

Yesterday Wesley refused to take a bottle. Let's hope today goes a little better. He wasn't uber crabby, but he needed to be held a lot, etc.

Last night Rosemary's sleep stuuunk. Ugh. It's so frustrating. Nights like this are less and less. But, still, she is TWO AND A HALF and it's getting old. That's going to be the best thing about a different house. Our bedrooms aren't going to be practically the same thing. I have no problem closing the door, letting her whine, and sleeping through it. Last night she was crying for her ballerina dress. I am not kidding.

Joel comes home tonight. Whoo!

I think when Wesley wakes up from his nap, we're all going to take a walk to the poetry garden. It's a little too wet to go to the park, but I don't want to be cooped up in the house all day!

Oh, and I LOVE my new (to me) car. Love it. Except that it wreaks of smoke, it's great. Anyone have any good ways to get the smell of smoke out? If it wasn't threatening so much rain, I'd leave the windows open all day.

I need to go outside and rake the leaves and transplant some hostas and day lilies, but little Rosemary is taking her precious time falling asleep. I don't want to go out until she's fallen asleep because the monitor doesn't always work outside, and besides, I don't want to get all dirty and then have to come in.

We went for a nice walk this morning: watched the St. Paul parks and rec people mowing the lawn with their giant riding lawn mowers, stopped at the mail box to mail an earnest check to the realtor in Brainerd, looked for pumpkins and scarecrows, stopped at the park, and ran the bases in the baseball field.

The days are actually going by really fast! Joel will come home tomorrow - early evening, so that is pretty exciting! I'll be interested to see if Rosemary receives him well or if she carries a little grudge. She has been doing pretty good so far. We talk to him a lot on the cell phone. She asks where he is quite a bit, but she doesn't really cry or act sad. My first day home with her, she tested me ... a lot. But a day full of time-outs and the rest of our days have been pretty good.

Well, it sounds like the little one is asleep - I better get to work.

Every day something happens that makes my heart sink just a little bit about our impending move. Yesterday it was the little boy at ECFE who held Rosemary’s hand as they walked out to the playground. He knows her outside of ECFE and has a compulsion to take care of her; it gives him a special place in my heart and I am sad to leave. We went for a walk last night and Rosemary was pointing out all of the airplanes. At any given time, when you want to see an airplane in our neighborhood, you just have to tilt your head to the sky and make a 360 degree turn. Is it silly that it made me sad that we won’t see as many airplanes in Brainerd?

It’s just a new world for me; it’s not at all that I don’t want it – it’s that I don’t know what I don’t know. We have a lot of comforts down here – and up there? Well, I know there’s an independent coffee shop ...

We found a house in Brainerd that we really, really love. And we learned yesterday that the sellers are pretty motivated. I really hope it works out, but I’ve already learned that if it doesn’t work out something else great will eventually turn up. But, I’d like this one to work! I feel nervous that nobody has expressed any interest in even seeing our house yet. It’s been on the market for less than 48 hours and I suppose people want to see houses more toward the weekend?

This weekend will be the last weekend where I have to think about going to work again on Monday. Rosemary June is going to have a whole new mom: one who isn’t trying to finish everything up, one who’s always running around, one who is usually tired and usually has a headache. I honestly can’t even imagine what that is going to be like. It almost makes me cry thinking about it!

Exciting, isn't it! I actually finished my valences, and I love them. You can read more about them here, if you want.

Joel is on his way to Home Depot to pick up our new screen door. It will be a good thing because 1) it won't be old and beat up and 2) it will allow a LOT more room in our kitchen ... something that the kitchen desperately needs.

I spent the day at a conference (for work) in Bloomington. It was pretty good, I thought. But some of my coworkers weren't too thrilled with it. I feel like I'm learning a lot from it - not all of it is applicable to what I do at work, but i think it's enough to get me started, and now that I know enough to play around, I'll probably learn more. The conference is for the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge). I know InDesign pretty well, but the other ones not so much.

On the way there I saw a semi-truck rear-end a red mini van. The mini van was pretty much stopped and the semi truck was probably going 50 mph and had to slam on its breaks. Ugh, it was really scary. It ended up being about a 4 vehicle pileup. I am pretty sure every one was okay, but if that mini van had not been a mini van, it would not have been good. Or if anyone had been in the back seat of the mini van. I called 911 on it and just kept driving. I figured I'd cause more problems if I stopped. One of my coworkers arrived to the conference a little late (due to the traffic this caused) and he said it didn't look like there were any major injuries. Praise God.

1. Joel is currently driving home from an interview in Crosby. Yay! for the interview. Boo! for the location.

2. 4th of July was a lot of fun. Rosemary had no problem staying up until after 11 and she LOVED the fireworks. She is still asking to see more.

3. It was a very busy weekend, but it was a lot of fun. We celebrated my nephew’s 2nd birthday and got to visit with my brand new baby nephew. Celebrated another nephew’s birthday (from Joel’s side). Went to the beach, visited with neighbors, etc.

4. Listened to a very interesting podcast by Greg Boyd about the rapture.

5. Watched a couple of Harry Potter movies.

6. Etc, etc.

The biggest new thing? Rosemary. This little girl is climbing FAR out of her shell. She is no longer the nervous, timid little girl that I used to know. I sometimes call her “Runaway Rosemary” because I cannot keep her near me. I am seriously thinking about getting a leash for her. It doesn’t matter where we are, what busy location we are in – even if it’s in the water at a crowded beach. The girl is on the prowl, fraternizing with strangers, never looking back. During 4th of July fireworks, I expected she would want to cuddle on my lap and instead she wanted to lay on the blankets with her cousins. This little girl of mine, she is growing up. She sleeps like a champion, eats like a champion, and is totally into doing her own thing.

She has my heart.

Joel says I am on "staycation." Apparently I can't call it a vacation, since I'm not going anywhere. It's been a great weekend and has been a great week so far. The weather is amazing! One of the only blessings of having a house covered in so much shade is that our house stays pretty cool. We have had no need or desire for air conditioning this summer. We don't have central air, we have window units, so we usually go through about a week of misery before deciding to put the window units in. I so deeply dislike how the window units feel when they are on - and they also take up precious and valuable window space. It's supposed to be 90 degrees today, so we'll see how it feels. Last summer we managed to deal with just having the window unit in on the upper level. We just dealt with being really warm when we weren't in our bedrooms.

Anyway, what have I been doing? Just enjoying the summertime! Yesterday Rosemary and I walked up to the beach with my SIL and nephew. I have lived here 4 years and that's the first time I've ever gone to the beach that's within walking distance! I always thought it would be gross, but it's really nice.

Sunday we had our old cell group over for a BBQ. It was fun - we haven't seen some of those people in months, and it will probably be a long time before we see many of them again now that we are going to another church. I totally predicted we'd have a pregnancy announcement from one couple - and we did! That's THREE predictions within the last year. I am so awesome. :P

I also started working on my curtains kitchen valences. I am really excited about the fabric I got! You can click here to see the fabric and read about my slow start on them.

Today my SIL is in labor!! I'm kind of bummed because Joel's mom has Romy today. Joel is power washing the house and I am going to do some yard work and hopefully make some good progress on the curtains kitchen valences (for some reason I feel weird calling them valences?). But, my mom has Gray today while Tara is in labor and I was hoping we could get together and go to the zoo or something. Alas, perhaps we can do that tomorrow?

Which means, Sarah, I might have to reschedule our coffee get-together (maybe Thursday?). But I'll call you when I have a better idea of how things are going.

Tara is incredibly determined to do this naturally. She has been in labor since 3 o'clock this morning and is at home with her doula. She's waiting as long as possible to go to the hospital. I'm really proud of her. Is it weird that I am almost jealous that she is giving birth? My feelings about birth have changed so much since I've had Romy that I am just kind of looking forward to doing it again!

Oh yeah, yesterday I got this picture in the mail. We are going to hang it up in the kitchen, but we need to get a frame. Perhaps I'll go frame shopping sometime today ...

I wish every day was staycation!

My dependence on caffeine is getting worse and worse. I have got to do something! Whenever I drink coffee these days (a few times a week), I almost always get full caffeine ... which used to make me sick!!

I'm drinking black, caffeinated tea. And often 2 diet cokes a day (I never drink coffee and diet coke in the same day, it's one or the other).

I know diet soda is super bad for me. I also believe that caffeine makes a huge contribution to why I feel crappy so often (and probably all the bad stuff in diet soda too).

I've got to kick this.

Also, I've been emailing with a naturopath and I'm going to make an appointment to see her. I'm really excited about that.

In other news, I got a full night of sleep last night and it is AMAZING how a good night of sleep affects my outlook on life. Life seems much better today. Of course I still drank 2 diet cokes today. Irg.

Oh yeah, and Rosemary starts swimming lessons tonight. Fun!

There's a lot going on. At home and at work. I do not have a lot of time for lj right now and I'm pretty behind on my friends list. Forgive me!

I'm going to give a quick weekend summary:

Friday eve: Went to my mom's house for bison burgers and sweet potato fries. Yummy. Then we went up to Lincoln Park (my old elementary school) and I could not believe what terrible shape that park is in. If my child went to school there, I would be outraged! Holy buckets, where do the tax dollars go? Anyway, Rosemary enjoyed it nonetheless and kept saying "This is great!" "This is fun!"

Saturday morning we went to breakfast at Keys Cafe. During Rosemary's nap I did some planting (oh yeah, we dug up some ferns and sundrops from my moms house on Friday) while Joel went to the grocery store. Then we all got ready quickly and went to a going away party for Jason and Magdalena/1st birthday party for their daughter. They are moving to Sweden and I think my heart is going to break. I am happy for them (Magdalena is from Sweden, her parents still live there), but I am really going to miss them. Here is a picture from the party. It's a special kind of lens used and some of the people on the ends are a little stretched:



We ended up staying longer than anticipated, so we went straight home after that and tried [in vain] to give Rosemary a good bedtime routine so that she would sleep well despite all the days stimulation (oh the dreams of parents who wish to sleep well).

Sunday we skipped church and went for a walk on White Bear Lake. We took Owen to the dog beach and then realized time got away from us and we were all pretty hungry. We then walked up to Subway to get sandwiches, and then over to Caribou to get beverages and sit at their outdoor tables. During Rosemary's nap we did some more yard work, planting the last of our perennials, splitting some hostas that weren't giving other plants enough light, and moving another perennial that came back from last year, but wasn't really thriving. Then Joel went to his parents' house to work with his brothers and sisters (mostly his brothers) to break up the concrete stairs at his parents' house (they are falling apart and need to be replaced). They got a lot done, but not as much as they hoped. They will definitely need to rent a jack hammer to finish it off. When Rosemary woke up, we went over to Joel's parents' house as well and she got to play with many of her cousins. His parents weren't home, they were out of town visiting family, and all the kids decided to get together and do this as a surprise. Anyway, we ate dinner over there and tried once again to get home early enough to let Rosemary calm down. She had an OK night, but not great. Actually, we all had trouble sleeping.

Yesterday I got into work and things were a little crazy. There's a lot going on, which is good. But I was feeling pretty worn out, so that wasn't good. It would have been good if I could have stayed late - but I couldn't because I was having the girls from our monthly girls' bible study over one last time before Magdalena leaves our group. :-( I bought an ice cream cake and we all just chatted and prayed for Magdalena. We didn't do any bible studying.

Now today begins and we found out, last minute, that they're having a dinner tonight for Joel's mom's birthday. I am very glad to celebrate her birthday. But I am also very tired.

I have a rotten cough. As soon as I laid down, I started coughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Of course, i woke Rosemary up, but Joel was easily able to console her back to bed. I took some cough medicine, but until it kicks in I need to sit upright. So, guess I won't be going to bed early tonight ... Oh well, I'd rather be tired than have Rosemary be tired.

So our refrigerator is definitely nothing to brag about. It’s pretty old and ugly. No matter how much you clean it, it looks dirty because the color has faded a lot. But it works just fine, so we decided not to spend the money [that we don’t have, anyway] on a new one. The dishwasher, oven, and microwave needed to be replaced. I even toyed with the idea of doing without a microwave – but we have the kind that hangs on the wall and doing something with that wall space would probably cost just as much as a new microwave.

Anyway, the day after we got all of our new appliances, my dad called me up to ask if we wanted his fridge. Apparently their dishwasher broke and since they have been wanting stainless appliances, they went ahead and got new everything. Well, they’re the kind of people who get the best of everything, so even though their refrigerator is a little older, it’s still probably higher quality than anything we would get anyway. So we’re going to take it.

The only thing is that it’s a white refrigerator and the rest of our brand-new appliances, along with our cupboards, are “bisque.” We’re going to give it a try and see if the color difference doesn’t look too bad. I hope it doesn’t! Otherwise, we’ve been given the go-ahead to sell it on craigslist ... (except that my brother expressed interest in it if we’re not interested ... grrr. :-)

All this to say, I cannot believe how blessed we are. I don’t always look at it that way, but my eyes are being opened.

Ah, today is the first day of summer hours. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, my company allows us to work 9 hours Mon-Thurs and then 4 hours on Friday, if we wish. Last year was kind of hard because Rosemary was always napping when I would go to pick her up and I have to hang out at Joel's parents' house the whole day. I mean, it was really nice to visit ... but it felt like so much wasted time. Sigh, not that spending time with them is ever wasted time, but you know what I mean, don't you?

Now she takes later naps, so kikifitz was able to keep her up. We got home and played a little bit - she climbed on her climber while I picked up the dog poop (fun!!). Then she went to bed and I got to work cleaning up the living room, dining room, and spare/play room. The floors all need to be cleaned, but it's clutter free and just feels so good. The next thing to be done is to clean the kitchen, but it's mostly dishes that need to be put away from the dishwasher, and then dirty dishes that need to go in. I don't want to risk waking Rosemary up, so I'll do that another time. I'm thinking of grabbing a book and sitting outside in the sun.

I am also going to call my neighbor and see if she and her kids want to go for a walk after Rosemary wakes up.

kikifitz 's little boy, Jack calls Rosemary "Romy." Of all the nicknames she's been given (Rose, Rosie), that's the only one I like. I wouldn't even mind if it stuck.

My mom is going to watch Rosemary overnight tonight. I don't even know what we're going to do with ourselves (other than have a night of completely uninterrupted sleep!). We are probably going to go out to dinner and a movie ... got any movie suggestions? We don't even know what's out there.

Tomorrow we are getting our new dishwasher, oven, and microwave delivered!! I am so excited. I have always hated our current oven (and it's dying), our current microwave is broken, and our dishwasher is dying. We bought them all at Appliance Smart (scratch and dent) for a steal.

Other than that we are going to get some work done on the yard, do some planting, and spend some time with family and friends!

What are all of you doing this weekend?

Oh yeah, I also wanted to say that Rosemary helped me plant two Gerbera Daisies last  night and she LOVED it. It was so fun, she was such a good helper. When we got home today, the first thing she said was, "Plant more pretty flowers?" A girl after my own heart.


P.S. The ducks all got out okay! I'll write more about that later.
